Why start your immigration process under Express Entry Program immediately and without delays is more important than ever before!

  • By now, it is known that candidates without job offers and provincial nominations are also getting picked up from the express entry pool. The cut-off rank came down from 800 plus to 415 at one stage. It is likely that it may slip down further in coming draws. Those who waited to file because they did not had offers are regretting that they did not submit their profiles earlier! Many who took the chance of filing into the pool, got an invite! So remember, it is advantage those whose applications are lodged into the pool.
  • Even those having score of 300 plus in CRS ranking and whose application is acknowledged in the express entry pool, have a chance of being accepted! As mentioned earlier, once filed into the pool and databank, the Position: Ln 383, Ch 368 Total: Ln 706, Ch 42899 resize search UOC Ltd. candidates profile becomes assessable to employers and provinces. If offered a job or nominated by the province, he gets another 600 points. These bonus points, when added to 300 plus points take his score to 900 plus and almost an assured selection from the pool draw. So taking a chance of filing into the express entry pool at the earliest makes lots of sense. Remember that only the applications filed into the pool have a chance of being picked up by employers or provinces! So, please do not waste any more time by delayed filing into the express entry pool. Fortune favors those who take chances that others hesitate to take! Why are you waiting for others to take advantage of not many applications in the pool and getting picked up just because they happen to be in the pool?
  • And why wait when one can submit your application into the express entry pool at no charge? So to do submission, the candidate needs to give IELTS and ECA but then that was previously required as well – even before express entry program was introduced. So what has changed? Nothing. So why wait and not start the process with UOC Ltd. and retain UOC Ltd. services immediately? We shall work on other file formalities while you are busy getting IELTS score and ECA reports. All this means saved time, which in turn determines how soon you will be picked up from the pool.
  • So express entry program has provisions whereby selection decision on the applications has shifted to the express entry pool draw and thus choice has shifted to citizenship and immigration Canada. But what is the big deal about it? Will it mean that quotas for skilled immigrants will not be filled up or others will be selected on some separate set of procedures? And if one is really interested in migrating to Canada as a skilled professional, then what choice does he have except to file for express entry? It is unlikely that the skilled worker immigration process will not be changed in near time again.
  • Immigration for skilled professionals amongst English Speaking Developed Countries on point is primarily open only for Australia, Canada, Denmark and Hong King. It’s also open for New Zealand but the country is too small with limited and has limited employment opportunities for workers and professionals. European countries require knowledge of country language and in most instances a work permit before one can become a permanent resident. So, if Australia and Canada are the preferred destinations and one is interested in migrating out of India, then is there any other option but to apply for one of these two countries? Please understand that skilled immigration programs of both these countries are based on expression of interest and require invite to apply. Then why wait and why should you not go ahead and file for Canada express entry or Australia Expression of interest program without delays? None of the countries is going to change their selection process to suit candidates who wish to wait! And once a decision to file the application is made, then is there a company better placed to manage the immigration application then! Answer is an emphatic no.
